An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...

Mortality in an invasive ant does not scale linearly with fipronil exposure
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Increasing fipronil concentration did not linearly increase yellow crazy ant mortality when introduced via horizontal transfer; high doses may limit food sharing. Queen mortality was low, and surviving workers were averse to feeding. Abstract Background Controlling eusocial invasive and other pestiferous insects is difficult.
